    Bike won't start......AGAIN!!

    Thanks Townsend. I bumped up the rpms to about 1400 to get the voltage up to 12.86 V. I also wired in a switch for the alarm to make sure it's off when the bike sits up for a while. Over the past 2 days, the bike has started up several times without hesitation and I only had the battery on...

    Bike won't start......AGAIN!!

    (Facepalm) - I completely forgot to mention. I also have a Gorilla alarm installed on the bike. I don't arm the alarm when it sits up for long periods of time though. Could it be slowly sucking the battery dry? :spank: All of my accessory lighting has been wired to be truly OFF when the...

    Bike won't start......AGAIN!!

    Final: Yes, the bike started on its own. I charged the battery up Sunday night and did all the testing Monday afternoon. It started on its own about 4 times total during all of the testing. I plan to take the bike to work tomorrow so I should find out Wednesday afternoon if the bike will...

    Motogiro, I quickly went out and took a look at the connection. Looks perfect.

    Bike won't start......AGAIN!!

    Also, I tested the resistance across the three white leads from the stator to the R/R. My voltmeter doesn't go down to small ohm readings but I was able to get rough readings of 0.4 ohms between all three lines.

    Bike won't start......AGAIN!!

    The short: I'm on to my 3rd battery in 10 months. Bike doesn't have enough juice to start. The long: Bought my used 09 last September. It still had its original battery. All was fine until the winter. Didn't ride the FZ for a month and it wouldn't turn over. Didn't know about bump...

    2009 Yamaha FZ6 under 3k miles, lots of goodies (northern california) firm on the price

    You will NEVER get that asking price. I bought my 2009 black raven in May last year for only $4400 and it had the same additions as yours plus more. And it only had 4000 miles. Just a reality check for you, take it or leave it

    interesting take on lane splitting..

    rsw81, if you had seen any of Ridapart's other videos, you'd know they are about entertaining the viewer and are not politically oriented.

    Shootings

    So many people keep mentioning how we need mandatory gun training and gun safety training and so many other gun regulations that would have zero impact of stopping a mass shooter. The ONLY way to 100% ensure this never happens again is to guarantee crazy people can’t get their hands on a...

    Can you see me NOW??? VERY PIC HEAVY

    It's actually pretty rare I'm driving at night but when the wife gives you the go ahead to get new farkles, you don't say no. :thumbup: All this will change though now that winter is upon us. I'm down in Houston so our riding season doesn't really end but the sun still isn't out as long.

    Can you see me NOW??? VERY PIC HEAVY

    Back Story: On Halloween night my wife was driving behind me when a cager pulls out in front of me, completely oblivious to my presence. She comments that, despite my HighVis green jacket, she couldn’t see me very well at all at night. She gave me the green light to do whatever necessary to...

    Oxford 1 Saddle bags

    I now own Tweak's FZ6 and he gave me the supports he made. Very nice quality and seems to be an easy thing to make if you have the right tools.

    DIY Polycarbonate Windshield addition?

    texcollect, I actually came across your older posts about your seat evolution and am currently looking at a Corbin. How long was the turn-around-time from order to delivery? Marthy, your work looks very good. What tools did you use to make the cuts and bends to make it fit correctly. I...

    DIY Polycarbonate Windshield addition?

    texcollect, that's why I've been hesitant to just pull the trigger on a tall windscreen. I don't want to shell out all that $$ just to have shifted the problem somewhere else. If worse comes to worse, I may just have to put on a windcollar or something similar to alleviate the pressure on my...
